17 янв 2002 г. - Eruption of Mount Nyiragongo
Описание:
Mount Nyiragongo, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, erupted on 17th January 2002, creating a large-scale humanitarian crisis. The volcano's eruption killed 245 people and displaced an estimated 400,000 as lava flows destroyed 40% of the city of Goma, wiping out homes and infrastructure.
This natural disaster further exacerbated the existing instability and conflict within the region. International organisations rallied to provide relief, but the combination of political unrest and the scale of the disaster presented a significant challenge. Another major eruption occurred in 2021.
